A laparoscope is a relatively simple procedure. If you are nervous, be sure to ask for something in your IV to calm you down and if you tend to be nauseous at all, ask for something for the nausea as well. They can give you "happy juice" in your iv as soon as you have spoken with the doctor and are prepped. Take the drugs! They will of course put you completely under for the procure in which they will make a small incision by your belly button and insert a small tube with a camera on it and go looking round.

They usually have to pump some air into your tummy which can be uncomfortable when you wake up. The area up by my shoulders hurt from the air, odd. Try to relax, no surgery is fun but it really is a simple procedure. What are they looking for?
